5.0

I loved this Hugo-nominated novella (or actually more like a short story). A character named Sarah Pinsker (like the author) receives an invitation and makes her way to "Sarahcon"--a gathering of hundreds of Sarah Pinsker's from across the multiverse all staying in one island hotel. Most of them have a variety of histories/memories in common but diverged at various points and ended up in all different occupations, interests, and the like. As she is getting to better know her self/selves, one of the Sarah's is murdered, and the main character is called in to investigate by virtue of the fact that she is an insurance investigator. But really she is investigating her multiple selves.

The mystery has a clever and satisfying solution, but that is not the point--overall the story is humorous, insightful, and makes you think long after it is over. I can't wait to read more by Sarah Pinsker(s).
